Westerly School: Middle School Humanities Teacher

Dear Ms. Nguyen,

Thank you for following up on the status of your inquiry into the Humanities position.Due to the large volume of resumes we received, we were not able to respond to each applicant.
Based on the most qualified candidates that we felt were a match for Westerly, we chose people to interview over the phone. From that list, we called in finalists to meet us in person and to teach a lesson. We eventually hired someone we felt best matched our criteria.
Thank you for your interest in Westerly School. We wish you the best of luck in your search.

Appreciatively,

Long-term Substitute position at Plaza Vista

Haven't updated in a long while.

For about one month from July to August, I have been a long-term substitute for the Resource Center at Plaza Vista in Irvine, CA (K-8 school). It was a great experience with its ups and downs, but I would be so honored to be able to sub here again.

Now this school is like no other school I have ever subbed at before. I have never ever seen as many rolling backpacks in my life--that is when I knew the atmosphere of this school concentrated on academics. Every student here is required to either join chorus or orchestra as their elective. There are all these students walking around with tubas, clarinets, etc. in the morning. (Note: One of the orchestra teachers has 70 students in one class sitting!!!). They also offer foreign language such as Spanish.

It is a great thing, a K-8 school. The population of the school is quite small. That way, all the teachers know the progress of every student there from kindergarten all the way through eighth grade.
